Looks like a lot of people embraced the "dress-up in armor" idea that won last year. Some good looking art though. I wasn't anticipating this high quality given the prizes this year.
Congrats to the winners.

Nice winners. Maybe I should've learned how to make costumes :P I'm happy my quick little painting got me a finalist spot.

I thought I would get second place, I put countless hours and it took over a month to make. I used a real chainmaille pattern the European 4-in-1 I coiled and cut the coils by hand. It was the very first time that I had ever tried something like this.
and I made a blog from start to finish. http://zehnchu1.blogspot.com

So this is a halloween contest right? so the art is supposed to have a halloween theme right? , So what has some girl dressed as a mesmer ,some guy dressed as a ranger and some kid dressed as Gwen got to do with halloween , the only thing scary about those is the fact that there are people who would take time to dress up as Guild wars characters,and in public xD

Those were some outstanding entries this year. I'm glad I didn't have to choose. GZ to all the winners...
P.S. - Gwen really was amazing.

*sigh* As pointed out on GWO, this is a rip off of http://radojavor.deviantart.com/art/Scarecrow-41286004 . I hope that one gets removed.

Second Place Winner is awesome!

THIS should have made top10 of winners. But I really appreciate its greatness since seeing the amount of detail and work it took, which can unfortunately easily be misjudged if looking only at the final picture.
So I have a question: Have you sent only this pic or also the others that show the details and work in progress?

Dang it, not even an honorable mention. 
Oh well, Congratulations to those that won. And I especially liked The Serum Ad And Second Place.
I am of the mind, though, that the costumes should get their own contest or section. And yeah that scarecrow picture seems like an incredible ripoff. o.0

flipped horizontally with yellow added to the eyes of the skulls and the image darkened, and hue changed to be more brown. Doubt it took more than 5 minutes to make that

Wow wtf, how can someone win a prize for that, they blatantly stole art from 2 places, and stuck them in the same pic...

very kewl entries this year. the grenth image is my fave but so many are amazing. from the costumes, to the squash serum. the pumpkins were awesome, especially the ranger build. and that video done by snow was excellent. great job. props to all the entrants who have appreciation for the game and are inspired to carry it over to art.

Plagerism for the loss. Hopefully A.net reads ths.

After looking at the amount of effort that went into this, I'm amazed that not only was it not a winnner but was not even an honourable mention as well. I mean the Gwen cosplay was nice but what does that have to do with Halloween?
The fact that something that would have taken hours and hours to manually hand-craft, as well as fitting the theme perfectly loses out to some kid who copy pastes two images on photoshop shows you how much effort went into the judging of this competition...

Wow, after having a look at Kiya's site...I didn't realise it was a mural/display thing. I thought it was a painting (which impressed me) but the fact that it is actually real....
So it seems ANet were high when they announced winners. Some kid with photoshop and plagiarism skills got a prize, but Kiya didn't? What the hell.

Anyway. Yay for me getting honorable mention. You'll have to find mine though because I don't want to link to it again ^,,^

Good stuff Regina, although I don't imagine there's any excuse this person can give that would be satisfactory, so hopefully you guys have the cojones to remove him/her as opposed to listening to anything he/she has to say.

True, but the scrub didn't bring a res.

congratulations to all!
Oh KiyaKoreena! You did a wonderful job
its marvelous. Filled with Holloween spirit!
hehe as usual i have questions, un-answerable ones
how is this cosplay better than this cosplay or this or this or this or this ? beside the winning entry being "known" around the Arena Net office since around march (i think)?
I'm just saying you know, the "1 Note: All judging was done on a "blind judging" basis, where those involved did not know anything about the contestant, including name, location, gender, or age." does not apply here as the winner have been know for sometime, weather you know her personally or not, this does not apply as the location and gender of the entrant is right here for everyone to see.

because the first one pretty much looks exactly like her character down to height and weight, hair style, eye color, armor, and weapon, and the others don't.

Kiya Holy RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO, thats awesome......not even an honorable mention? Really ANet?
Inde
Kiya! Wow, I thought it was just a Photoshop or rendering (still awesome) but the fact that it's a handmade model like that is awesome! Did you include all those other shots with your entry? I never would have known from just the picture that you posted that it was real.
